It's possibly the LONGEST way around to get a drum beat behind you for your solo accordion work! What an amazingly perfect piece of machinery. Thank you SO much!!
You do, ladies and gentlemen, realise that whilst watching these videos you are in the presence of a Master Machinery Operator. The proper hitching up the trousers before starting is indeed a symbol, a badge of this gentleman's prowess. Many an apprentice have failed miserably at this seemingly simple but highly important prerequisite...
Very interesting. A crosshead two stroke engine, powered by oil with a hot bulb for ignition. I see that the belt pully is clutched so it can be started with no load and with the correct rotation. It definitely shows the skill the engineer had to have to keep these things running. Thanks for the video.
I’m absolutely amazed! Never have seen one of those running. Wish my grandfather were still around to see it-he worked in factory maintenance in the 1910’s and 1920’s, then began farming. So I don’t know if he would have ever run one of those engines, but I bet he had seen some along the way. And glad to see the Horsepower in your description, as that was one of my first questions about it. But the finale with your accordion-you are a genuine Man for All Seasons!
Sure your grandfather had a lot of experience in these kind of engines and pretty much all old machinery. He was alive in a good time period i think. Hard work all day but honest. Thank you, take care! /Richard
11:45 preheating the pre heater 😊 good old times 👍 I bet somewhere in the marketing materials to this engine was something written about how easy and convenient to use it is 😅 but damn this stuff was made to last ❤
@@johnsherborne3245 yes indeed! And steam engines didn't last nearly as long and where a hell lot more complicated and expensive to maintain. They where not wrong but today it's kinda of ridicules where MW-elecrtic motors are used for most stationary applications. Which start in 2 seconds:-)
Regarding electrical power. My mom and dad moved to a farm in 1942. Windmill for water. Privy for toilet. Kerosene lamps for lights. Did have a butane stove and space heater. Radio was powered from car battery. Finally got electricity in 1944, courtesy of the Rual Electrical Administration (REA). Actually got a telephone in 1947 (party line) when I was two. We were only five miles from town. So a butane powered light plant would have been nice. Oh yeah, my grandfather's Fairbanks Morse 32 volt light plant was repossessed after the 1929 Stock Market crash when he had a dry year an crop failure.
Can you imagine having to go thru this every morning getting your car started to go to work? Incredible engine Richard! Thanks for bringing it to life for us!
Richard, my friend, it is great to have another video from you. You certainly know your way around these classics. Rube Goldberg would love the cooling tower of this machine. Accordion accompaniment is a fine touch. BRAVO!
@@jesperwall839 Ahh, the mind of someone always in a hurry. The things is, no battery for ignition, no computer to run that ignition. I will start even if an emp done fried all of those time saving machines and will be used to haul those useless modern machines off the road and out of the way.
Bravo, Richard! We wait for your's new video for a long time and this beautifil day has arrived. Thanks a lot for this amazing example of the technical genius of ancestors, and for the music too. Someware in Pakistan people still use such kind of semi-diesel engines in their everyday life.
So good to see those two great machines at work and on such a fine day. thanks for the video and the music of the engines and the accordion. Great video!
Just getting that marvelous old tractor started would have been video enough, but then I saw he was just using it drag out the REAL subject. Simply amazing stuff. Liked and subscribed
Wonderful video, that’s a big, lump of an engine, love the cooling tower. Great job thanks for dragging it out for us to watch, I love the beat of old engines, not to mention your musical skills 👍
So many cool tidbits in this video! The crossbar wheel locks, the spout on the old can, the massive cooling tower to name a few. Wish my lawnmower ran this good. Thanks for the video. :) 10/10
When I didn't think the smile could get any bigger after seeing the engine go, you pick up the accordion too. Absolutely wonderful 😍 När jag inte trodde leendet kunde bli större efter att ha sett tändkulan puffa på, så plockar du fram dragspelet också. Helt underbart 😍
I realy love watching this video, old 2 strokes stationary engine powered by oil. I remember my father when he was working in 10 tons ice plant in sorsogon city as operator mechanic.
Had a Man say to Me several years ago, "that machine running is Music to my Ears." Your playing is the first time I have heard Accordion music in Years, thanx for sharing. Hope We can see it hooked up to an implement some Day.😃
You are AMAZING my friend.....Thank you for this awesome video and in my 80's now an i have seen such a fine....OLD TIME NEW TIME video before and the Accordion solo with the old engine as the drum beat.....Darn sorry i am 6 days late...... Old F-4 Phantom ll fighter jet pilot Shoe🇺🇸
Gday, absolutely fantastic, my Grandmother played the accordion, lovely instrument to listen too for hours and even better with some history running in the background, cheers
Wow it's a days work just prepping it to get it ready to run , Farmers in the day were a hardy lot ,the work was never done just to survive ,By golly it's polka time good stuff thank you
No matter where you live or what country your machine was built in the same thing is universal worldwide when it comes to the quality of the machine. And that is, “they don’t make them like they used to l”.
Great to have you back with a new video. I always look forward to seeing your posted videos. Such an amazing Engine .and the music you played towards the end with the beat of the engine was awesome!. Please continue to make these very entertaining videos...thank you Sir
I know it's going to be a treat whenever you post a video. But I never expected the accordion! Thanks for posting, please post more! Do some motorcycle videos
when i see something like that .i think to myself the feller that invented that.its just to cool.i still dont understand it .maybe like the first diesel engine?.good to see you back you have great knowledge of these old machines.
I feel as thought this wasn't the first time you've started that old girl. Amazing! edit: I truly appreciate the way things used to be. There was order to everything, a process. It wasn't instant gratification. You had to WORK to EARN something.. yeah.. We'll get back to that one day or another, I kinda can't wait really.
Your show is incredible i wish you made more videos i think the last time i saw your show was over a year ago This is such history that you bring back to life Thank you.
It's possibly the LONGEST way around to get a drum beat behind you for your solo accordion work! What an amazingly perfect piece of machinery. Thank you SO much!!
Yes and a second problem is that the doors at the recording studios is very small.
Yes, and imagine hauling that to every wedding gig you had.
Yep and all those fancy white dresses is automaticly painted like chessboards.

Yeah, he hitched up the britches so people wouldn't start thinking he was a plumber!!!
Well spotted
Hey, it's a pure pleasure these days to see a young person with a passion for these antique machines. Thank you very much.

Hi, that is very much correct sir. Thank you. /Richard
High tech in those days.
Still Today … it runs without a Laptop, also after an EMP!
Thanks for the great video. Amazing old machines. Cute horses and a nice musical ending.
Glad you enjoyed it! / /Richard

The irony is that saying it was easy to start might be relatively true. Certainly a steam engine of comparable power would take longer to fire up.

Thank you mate! The cooling tower is original to this engine. The wood have been replaced once but as original. /Richard
It's amazing how clean that tractor is running. Things were just better 70 years ago.
Yeah, but it takes about 30 minutes to get it started, so not better in all ways 😂

Vidéo très intéressante . J'ai 78 ans , vers mes 15 ans , en France dans le Pas-de-Calais , à la ferme , je conduisais le même Bolinder .
Very happy to see you've released a new video. Thank you.
Wow! Fantastic machines, incredible camera work, an amazing “radiator” …and the best music ever heard on TH-cam!

And thus, the music genre known as "steam-folk" was born.
Great video, Richard. Glad to see you back.
Cheers.
Haha! Thank you! /Richard
I think "Diesel-Folk" would be more apt, but regardless my ears are totally jazzed to hear someone utilize the obvious rhythm of these machines.
When I didn't think the smile could get any bigger after seeing the engine go, you pick up the accordion too. Absolutely wonderful 😍

So satisfying :-). Thank you for sharing and for keeping the old machinery alive.
What a sweet video,, I have to research that tractor a bit more, haven't seen one like it in the USA
Hi, no i dont think BM shipped many to the US. /Richard
Nice to see you back in shop Richard ! Always enjoy your videos . Scott 🌵
Thank you. Where are you from? /Richard
@@YesterdaysMachinery Phoenix Arizona USA !
We are the hottest major city in the USA . I enjoy watching somewhere that is always cool !
@@zonie70-- My son lives in Phoenix. I refuse to visit him in the summer. It would save time and money just to crawl into my oven, LOL.
@@ironcladranchandforge7292 HAHA ! I know what you mean !
A great machine, glad it was saved and not scrapped, respect it!
I realy love watching this video, old 2 strokes stationary engine powered by oil. I remember my father when he was working in 10 tons ice plant in sorsogon city as operator mechanic.
Wonderful video and amazing music! Amazing how you started the tractor with one push of the foot!

Yes i have another crude oil engine in my sawmill ,that i think you have seen. 🙂
there is a zen in the prep to start that monster,
and that tractor! kick starting a big ass diesel, bad ass!
What a pleasure to see something new from you!
Thank you very much 😊👍
Missed him in his absence.

Thank you! /Richard
As long as it takes to get started, it's amazing any work got done with these engines!
Mycket kraftig maskin och Excellent handhavande av operatören!
Absolutely magnificent I have missed your regular feeds.
Iv seen a few of these old engines, Iv never seen one with a cooling system. Would love to see how the pump works.👌🏻
Nice accordion show! but your drummer's world class! Cheers from Canada.
That is a stunning engine. The biggest I had was a 3 mule team Amanco.
I like all your equipment but those wheel chocks really make me happy !! :)
Great to see a new video from you Richard.
Thank you mate. /Richard
My Dad played the accordion 🪗. You wouldn't want to loose your pants 👖 while cranking that beast! From Wisconsin USA
Awesome video thanks for sharing your journey amazing piece of machinery great scenery looking forward to seeing more Wayne Perth Western Australia
Thank you for the wonderful video. The simplest things in life are always the most enjoyable.
This is one of those videos where I have this silly smile on my face the whole way through. Well done.

Thank you! And thank the US from me! /Richard
My grandpa used to use the charcoil heater ppan in winter underneath his model t, or A, i cant remember which it was.
Marvelous display, good segment accordion playing in time with the engine's exhaust beat.
Thumbs up indeed!
Great to have you back with a new video. I always look forward to seeing your posted videos. Such an amazing Engine .and the music you played towards the end with the beat of the engine was awesome!. Please continue to make these very entertaining videos...thank you Sir
Thanks mate! Yes will always make them, but sometimes with a small paus in between. /Richard
Oh heck yes! I was just looking at the channel yesterday to see if anything new had come up that TH-cam hid from me!
Doing the best i can! Take care mate! /Richard
No lo habia visto nunca me parece genial gracias y que tengas mucha salud para seguir haciendolo desde Barcelona España
Very creative playing a tune to the bass accompaniment of the engine.
Men will just look at this and think to themselves "hell yeah".
Really nice video! I thoroughly enjoyed it! neat to hear the engine keeping time and doing the percussion section.
That engine has an incredibly soothing sound
Very nice idea to play accordion at the beat of such a wonderful peace of engineering. ❤And you did it great!
Greetings from germany!
Love those hefty brass dashpots for the lube oil. I bet today's models come with flimsy plastic ones.
wow!man does a day,s work setting up and getting
the tractor and the engine running.
Are you going to do some work with it like saw some wood? You sure know your stuff!👍👍👍👍Well done!
Worlds largest metronome! That was amazing, and i would love to see it under load running a wood shop or something. Thanks!
Hi, i have a video on my channel with another 35hp oil engine running my sawmill. /Richard
No new resorses coming out of the earth was used in this video.Just old metal and used oil.Recykel is the key,Greta salutes you.
Heck yeah man great to see a video from you. Hope all is well. Thank you
Thanks man. Wish you the same. /Richard
Now that is some heavy metal music...
من أجمل ما شاهدته في حياتي فعلآ شئ لايصدق مهندسين زمان صنعوا اشياء لاتفنئ تحية طيبة من القارة الجزائر 😂❤🇩🇿
That's a lot of work just for a rhythm section. I appreciate the effort. Nice accordion playing!
Nice to see you and your machinery again! Your tractor looks like it hadn't moved since your last video. It looks to be a very reliable machine.
I actually started and moved the BM20 a couple of months ago. But it always starts easy and runns very well. Thanks! /Richard
Got to love that back beat rhythm.
th-cam.com/video/a1ThSi1wbqU/w-d-xo.html
Nice touch playing accordion on the end. My friend Will Welling produced an entire CD of his playing fiddle tunes using old engines as rhythm boxes!
Good idea. Better than most of todays music. /Richard
Awesome video Richard. 👍👍👍
With proper daily maitenance this machine is eternal! Nice piece of equipment You have!
Thank you! Yes oil and grease then they just run. /Richard
OOH! I missed you, man! Great to see you, and your iron!
Thanks mate! Take care! /Richard
That, sir , is one hell of a metronome! ;o)
Super cool 👏🏽 and lifting those pants made it almost into a silent movie - i full amazing colors
Runs either direction. Cool. I love two-strokes.
Subscribed! TY for not talking over the obvious. This clip is much like preflighting an old huey! Dig it
Thank you! Take care! /Richard
Thanks for posting
I do my best in a time with very little of it. /Richard
Great rhythm section 😄😄. Very cool thanks
I like your video of how it all works the old way. I have never seen such a water cooler.
Yes i like the old way. Quite hard work in the end but you deserve your supper. /Richard

Great video I missed hearing you talk but we got music so I’m ok .Thanks Richard
Superb set, well done, our elders must also have been experts to make it all work....
A big thank you from France.

@@YesterdaysMachinery This is certainly because they must have been self-taught....
